Question

have you ever felt heat from a fireplace? or the warm rays of the sun? then youve encountered infrared waves! infrared waves are a type of electromagnetic wave. we cannot see infrared waves, but they are all around us. the unique characteristics of infrared waves have led to their use in tv remote controls, thermal imaging cameras, and devices that monitor earth and space.
this model shows different types of electromagnetic waves.

compared to infrared waves, visible light has dropdown wavelengths, has dropdown frequencies, and carries dropdown energy.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Looking at the electromagnetic spectrum model, we can observe the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related ($c = \lambda f$, where $c$ is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is wavelength, and $f$ is frequency). Energy of a photon is given by $E=hf$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant). So, shorter - wavelength waves have higher frequencies and higher energies. Visible light has shorter wavelengths than infrared waves.

Answer:

Compared to infrared waves, visible light has shorter wavelengths, has higher frequencies, and carries more energy.
